The fire alarm started beeping with a low battery at 3AM. I got notification while I was there of an “air tag nearby” which was disturbing. The photos did not appropriately depict this establishment. I booked for two nights and left early in the morning after the first night. Would never go back and would never recommend to anyone else.

Stayed in Suite 100. Mostly clean; found a dead roach in the bathroom and a massive active wasp nest on our patio, but had no issues otherwise. Friendly and attentive staff, beautiful scenery, great rooms, and breakfast available. 4/5 stars, would definitely stay here again.

Safe, clean, good location for the weekend event we need to be, proprietor tried his best to accommodate our party of 3 rooms on a weekend when practically all hotels are fully booked. Have been using this property for the last several years, like the quietness and easy parking and safe location. This property has been updated with new flooring, shower, window blinds and bedding by new owner. Simply clean and safe.

The Mountain Star Lodge is a nature lovers' oasis nestled in the midst of a bustling Austin suburb. The lodge is set back from the road, on a hilltop overlooking a lush green valley full of birds and othe lical wildlife. The accomodations are rustic, but clean and spacious. The small kitchenette was an added bonus. The setting is quiet and peaceful, while being just a couple minutes from upscale shopping, entertainment, and offices. The proprietor "Sonny" was friendly and accomodating. If our travels bring us to the Bee Cave/Dripping Springs area again, we would definitely stay here again.

Love this family run hotel. Amazing views from your balcony, which is featured in every room. Beautiful pool, very peaceful and tucked enough away from 620 that you forget you’re so close to the bee caves galleria and lakeway shopping. The sunsets are breathtaking. You have got to make sure you stay at this hidden gem next time you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the beautiful hill country!!
